Engagement Data for Sales
Sales and SDRs love engagement data as
much as Marketing. They use it to:
• Identify engaged accounts
• Find the best people to contact next
• Understand how eﬀectively Marketing is
supporting their eﬀorts
• Prepare QBRs and other account reviews
Sales should access Engagement data wherever they already work – in
CRM, in email, in LinkedIn – not just the analytics tool

TARGET

PRIORITY
ACCOUNTS
Target Market… is the universe
of potential buyers that a company
intends to capture.
Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
• Qualitative input (sales, exec input)
• Internal data (close rates, deal mix)
• External data (predictive)
Target account list… based on the
ICP definition, becomes the sole focus
for outbound sales efforts.
Account selection methodology…
is defined to determine accounts for
high touch/spend campaigns.
GOAL:
1) Drive account engagement.
2) Increase both known and
anonymous activity within ICP
accounts and within the target
accounts.
3) Support sales with key
account activities to move A
priority accounts through the
funnel.

territory-level

Inside Sales Feedback
Having quantitative, visual feedback on activities within accounts is a critical part
of our territory strategy. We use this data to not only see the positive effect of our
collective efforts across marketing and sales, but we can also dig into accounts
with little engagement to come up with a game plan for prospecting into, or
building out personas within them. – Kae Huynh
I use the daily and weekly alerts to prioritize my schedule of follow-up, research,
and prospecting. I have my tasks for the week-ahead coming into Monday, but I
will prioritize those activities based on the engagement trends within accounts in
my territory. – Lydia Desimone
The fact that my AE is able to see the effect of my activities in our territory has been
a key aspect building trust and partnership as we build out our territory. As a field
sales rep, it is difficult to fully communicate the full breadth of activities and
outreach into an account or set of accounts, but the reporting and alerting
capabilities have been been instrumental in remaining aligned as a team. – Tina
